Why the study?
Does the addition of yoga therapy to standard medical therapy improve cardiac function and reduce NT-proBNP in patients with stable heart failure?
Does the addition of yoga therapy to standard medical therapy improve cardiac function and reduce NT-proBNP in patients with stable heart failure?
Yoga therapy may serve as a beneficial adjunct to standard medical therapy for improving cardiac function and reducing myocardial stress in patients with stable heart failure.
Supports adjunctive yoga in stable HF; extends RCT evidence for nonpharmacologic interventions on cardiac function.
These results indicate that the addition of yoga therapy to standard medical therapy for HF patients has a markedly better effect on cardiac function and reduced myocardial stress measured using NT pro BNP in patients with stable HF.
